What do you like to do for fun?

S: Hanging with my friends and my sister. I love hiking. I recently learned how to ski. I like to go to concerts; live music is always fun.

G: Ski, golf, and go out with friends. I wake surf, where you’re towed behind a boat on a mini surfboard — you toss the rope back to the boat then surf the wave behind the boat.

When was your last serious relationship?

S: Two years ago.

G: Two years ago.

How do you usually meet singles?

S: Hinge. I’d like to meet someone organically though.

G: Through friends or online dating, sadly. I don’t have a problem going up to a girl at a bar I think is cute.

Have any immediate swipe left triggers?

S: Mirror pictures. Cowboy boots. If they smoke cigarettes.

G: If all their photos have Snapchat filters.

Dating app turn ons?

S: If they look adventurous and spend time outside. If they’re around friends a lot. Seem close to their family.

G: I like to see them with their friends, it’s not just them in every photo. When they’re with their friends I can usually tell that person likes to have a good time.

What were you looking forward to tonight on your Blind Date?

What do you enjoy most about living in Denver?

G: Being close to the mountains. The nightlife.

While checkers-deep in a heated match of Connect Four, we pause the exciting gameplay to snoop on our daters. After a few drinks and a lot of conversation, it was time to pull each one aside to find out how the game of love is going.

On a scale of 1-10 how is the early chemistry?

What’s most appealing about your date?

S: He’s fun. I’ve enjoyed hearing about his job and learning where I should go skiing.

How’d Rooster do setting up your Blind Date?

G: Rooster did a really good job; we were there a long time talking. I’ve definitely been on worse dates. [laughs]

It feels like Rooster has a Clue when it comes to matchmaking. Will this be the Uno or did their Battleship sink? Let’s find out ...

S: We stayed until 10:00 p.m.; we were both shocked how late it was on a weeknight. We didn’t get to any games because we were taking so much.

G: We hung out and had a glass of wine, exchanged numbers. It went well, we both had to work the next day so nothing crazy happened. We’ve talked a bit via text.

Was there a goodbye kiss?

S: No goodbye kiss, just a goodbye hug. I was happy with the hug.

G: There was not, just getting to know each other, we’ll see what the future holds.

How about a second date?

S: Yeah, I would; I don’ if we will but it was a good time. He has my number so if he asked I’d go out again. I had a lot of fun.
